Episode Transcript
Last time on no latency.
Hey, can I have a try to get some more ammo for my Phoebe?
Go ahead.
I just dropped a lot of money on my apartment.
Do you have smart bullets currently?
That'll be all for me.
Oh, I'll go last.
Vendel.
Was there anything you needed?
How much are incendiary?
If you're throwing it in, for sure.
Looking for some ion cuffs.
A lot of people keeping the packaging but I'm happy to give it a life like you said.
Well, I suppose.
You know my work.
There could be something to be worked out for that.
Abandoned.
This life is never done.
Hell yeah, brother are.
We going in guns a blazing or?
Corpo Shallot.
It looks like Iona's having a rough time in there, and I think I know this person would.
Would you just plug in the tiles so he can access it and then he can?
Hey, Dan.
Dan Daniel.
Oh no, you should have put some fucking lock into it.
Grab them.
Put them into a headlock.
OK.
A grapple is a brawling check, so that's Dex plus brawling plus 1D10.
Good luck, Jeb.
Roll well Jeb, if you mess this up, this all could go bad.
Brawling 21.
OK I have to roll evasion with this?
Oh shit he rolls a crit 17 but unfortunately you rolled above him still.
So although he rolls a crate, he does step on your foot as this happens and as part of this grapple you lose.
Fuck 4.
HP he's got steel ship, steel toed boots on he's.
He's a big guy, he's tolling you so you pulling him back means you have to step back with his heels.
So he really crunched toe.
You lose 4 HP and it fucking hurts.
Get off me.
And you're trying to choke him out.
All right.
Hey, Dan.
Dan.
Drive.
The radio.
I like you.
I don't want nothing to happen to you.
Just go back to sleep and we'll be fine.
You're not, No.
No, I get paid above minimum wage.
This is bullshit.
Roll the brawling check.
Oh oh when he rolls one above your grip, fail and gets out of it.
I think this is where Vendel probably jumps down to help.
Checks out.
Vendel jumps down to help 0.
Shit.
Into the room also falling and hurting themselves, rolling a crit fail to not below -1 and they hurt themselves and take 4 damage again my flesh leg oh.
My flesh leg.
Oh, that's the second time I've fucked up athletics.
Vendor.
You're supposed to aim for the couch.
Right.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me?
Taps the guy on the shoulder.
I don't think, I don't, I'm, I'm sorry, I've just really hurt myself.
I don't think it's a good idea for you to do that.
So if you wouldn't.
Mind.
And then Vendel does a Roundhouse kick to try and knock this guy out.
Where's my leg?
Where's?
My leg.
Usually attached to the hip.
19 Nice, yes.
Vendel rolls 19 and smacks this guy across the face.
He falls to the ground and is now prone, but he is still awake.
Jeb, what are you going to?
Do the only thing I can do, take the combat shovel.
Hit him straight across the head.
Oh.
God fuck you, pull out your combat shovel.
I'm really hoping if this lands to hear a really nice juicy sound.
Effect yeah definitely 17 yes he gets a -2 to evade because he is prone yeah no he doesn't roll close unfortunately unfortunately only rolling shit A2 and is knocked out and is now unconscious on the oh the noise was loud ish and so outside next to retro the guy who's watching the stick ball game.
What's that noise?
Retro you have to roll the distractor and also so does Iona and Vivi in the tiny room because Janice is right next door.
What are we rolling?
Some way to distract Janice?
Be creative.
Retro is first though, so have a think.
All right, I'm going to.
Nope.
Acting is not going to be good.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hold on, dance.
So yes, because the Bozos just got a AAA triple run off the vampires in the stickball game.
And so I'm dancing because I'm cheering on.
I'm cheering on the Bozos, not the Bozos Pirates, because I'm cheering on the vampires ago.
Yes, yes, look at that.
See, those fucking clowns can't even stack up to those emo vampires.
Son of a bitch, Yeah.
Yeah, it's weird.
It's weird.
You know, the the donk noise didn't seem like it's like really sunk.
It sounded like the the timing of that sound was off when the guy got hit.
You're dancing like I didn't.
Really think of mine, boy.
Yeah.
No, I didn't use the sound board to go with it.
Yeah.
That's only like dumb radio shows and kid with like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've you've successfully distracted me from this stuff that's going on inside one time.
Yeah, very good.
Inside the other room where Janice is, Janice looks up from her desk as she's trying her best to plug in your extension cable and VB.
You try and and sort of cough and stuff, but Iona, I think it's really up to you.
So Janice looks up from the desk and and she's very stressed still very dishevelled.
And as she looks up, I'm going to gently caress the side of her face and push the bangs that are hanging across her face behind her ear and just be like, oh, let me help you.
I'm just kind of gently, I'm going to roll personal grooming and I'm going to put two luck into it.
Oh, that's of Crit 32 and this woman you can tell with your Crit 32 has basically fallen in love with you of.
Course.
Oh.
She blushes.
And with my with my my buxom bosom.
You can.
You can.
You can you can plug it in here.
Thank you.
And you plug your agent in and you you hear fresh hi.
I'm here to ruin the mood.
HelloFresh.
Hi, I'm your neighborhood net runner.
Could you, could you try and track down this lost package for us?
I I'm going to give you a confirmation number and then we can roll interface.
Sure.
NTRS 00116.
OK, Yep, OK, sure.
The roll interface.
All right.
And just so you know, we do have Janice here on the line as well.
She is.
Hi.
Janice.
It seems Janice, but honestly, I'm feeling a little flushed.
There's one or more interfaces going on right now.
He's got one luck.
I'm just going to put it in on the interface.
No roll bonus, just go oh.
Oh my God, Rolling a crit success, you discover that it is in van #7 Domino did a really good job of hiding this and you also did a really good job of hiding it from Janice because of your crit successes.
So now you know where the van is, but she to her, it looks like the information was not found and you can use this information and this situation, I imagine to your advantage.
Oh.
I'm so sorry.
Well, shoot.
Well, you know, you all here at your company are so good at your jobs.
I I honestly have no doubt that it it will be found.
OK, well, I mean, it says it's still here.
It's just, I'm sorry, the information on which van it was in is completely deleted.
Do you, do you, do you think that we might be able to go back and take a look?
I mean, that's really against policy.
But but you know, we're here.
I mean, your eyes never help or never hurts.
OK.
I mean, I sure I just just like as long as you obviously don't take anything that it doesn't belong to you and then you check the package with me as you leave so I can sign off on the whole thing.
That way the insurance thing doesn't happen you know of.
Course, of course.
Because I need to like stamp the box, it's got an RFID so.
Perfect.
But you rode really high, so here's the the RFID scanner so you can double check it's the right box without opening it.
Wonderful Janice, you are just I, I treasure this experience with you because you're you're just a a bright shining light and you warm the souls of everyone you meet.
Thanks, that's really nice.
Your friend is outside dancing with my friend.
That's cute.
I can see them on the cameras.
I've got cameras out front there.
Oh.
That's fun.
That's fun.
Yeah, look, look, he's doing a little dance.
Look at that.
There's so much good vibes here, you know?
Yeah, you didn't just see Retro doing the Carlton.
I just love.
I love all the good vibes.
Yeah, the the the good vibes a bit You I mean, you do seem a little disingenuous with your with your a in acting.
But like she wrote two crits.
So I'm not really that worried about it.
Not really sure why a doctor works at a radio station.
I'm honest.
You need doctors everywhere so.
Totally, Yeah.
So if you guys want to go through the back, please do be quiet.
I think, I think Daniel's asleep in the back, so.
Oh.
Yes, we'll, we'll be very quiet.
Cool and just.
And she gets up and she moves over to the door and she unlocks it for you with her key card.
She's about to step into that room and you can see behind them.
Janice I want to take advantage of this moment and I turn her around and I grab her by the face and I eyes could I kiss you your.
Puzzle Audible guest.
You've rolled 2 crits.
I'm not going to say no to that.
While this is happening, Jeb and Vendel, you have to hide the body and hide.
Yourself no wait, no, there's people outside put.
It there are lockers in here, there are lockers.
On the east wall there are lockers.
I didn't know where the lockers put it in take take off.
You can.
See them?
They're there and there and there The.
Cushions off of the off the couch.
Put them in the couch, they put the cushions on top.
That's a really good idea.
Let me get my.
Knife out and Vendel open spot on the sofa cuts out the lining of the underside and there's now a hole in the bottom of the sofa.
Quickly right.
Roll, roll, roll.
Stealth to do this with Vendel.
Vendel.
Rolls Vendel rolls.
A crit fail 7 but Jeb rolls a 22.
So what happens is as Vendel goes to cut open the bottom of this, they cut their hand open and yell OW and so now Janice hears someone yell OW and you go to kiss her.
You have to roll well for this to work, but they do manage to hide the guy.
The only real danger is that she will find that there are two random people in the backroom currently.
It it's only us in the world and I, I, I take her by the face and I plant one on her.
And you kiss.
And Phoebe, you now watch Iona kiss a random human.
I've never seen before.
I almost never kissed anyone.
That's not true you.
Kissed it.
This is the first.
Time you kissed it?
No.
No, you kissed.
Sort of.
I did.
Yeah, you did, but this also means that you have to roll sanitization.
Oh, I will.
Are you wet, your sweet patootie?
I'm going to be doing that.
With your high persuasion, you managed to Mac out with this this person, they also put their hand in yours and they put the key card in your hand.
And you now have the key card as part of this interaction.
And it gives time for Jeb and Vendel to hide in the room below.
Vendel Vendel launch me up into the skyline or into the.
Oh, you're, you're going to go upstairs?
I was just going to go in this locker, but yeah, sure.
No, no, no, boost me up.
And then I'm sure you got like you got you got a robo, you got a robo leg.
You can probably.
You know, I got you.
I got you.
Maybe just roll on it When?
OK.
Three.
Yeah.
Yeah, your Stealth 19 is great.
Vendell rolls a 25 quick success in Athletics and you are thrown onto the roof incredibly safely.
And you managed to do a flip silently.
Superhero landing.
You're right on top, and if you want you can use your flip to close the Hatch on top of Vendel if you want to leave Vendel inside.
Or do you want Vendel to come with you?
Oh, I'm choosing.
I think Vendel's with me.
As I said, use your use your robo leg and and jump through the jump up into the leg.
And Vendel also jumps up into the roof and closes the the Hatch below them.
And now the room is empty.
Iona.
That was close.
That was beautiful, Janice.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Sorry I.
Oh.
Well, that was sorry baby, I forgot you were here.
I was so.
Intense.
You know, I just let you guys do your thing.
I'm happy.
Here's here's my number.
Thank you, I will give it to my assistant.
Creep.
I'm sure they're lovely like you.
And you guys walk into the backroom, past the computer and a slightly be shovelled sofa to your left where you can just about tell that there's a dude in it.
I close the door behind us.
There are 8 lockers in here and your your key card does open the door out of here.
Oh, wonderful.
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
But third time's a charm there you.
Go outside, you can see a guard who's just chilling just.
Chilling, straight chilling.
Just chilling.
He doesn't know what's going on, but it is Barry Retro's friend.
I can see by his name tag it is Barry, correct?
Who are you?
Barry Correct.
Well.
You know what?
Oh yeah.
Name the the name tag.
We're associates of Remy.
Oh yeah, Remy, right.
Yeah, so.
He puts his hand out.
I roll sanitization and I squirt sanitizer in it.
Oh.
Thanks, I was asking for a bribe.
Oh, I've sanitized my hands.
Rolling 9.
Excellent.
And kind of actually my face as well.
Cool.
Yeah, he rolled really well on both of those.
So good.
Oh, I sorry.
And I, I, I go to feel my bag and I don't have my bag.
I, I let me call, let me call Richard.
I don't have it on me.
Phoebe is right behind you.
Oh, I.
I hold up my hand as Barry is holding up his hand.
Phoebe, you now have two people asking you for money.
Did Phoebe catch the Is she, is she picking up What's being laid down here?
Yeah, yeah.
You're aware Barry needs to bribe.
It's very obvious.
No insight required.
He literally said it because he literally just said he wanted a bribe.
So it's barely obvious.
PP pulls out.
$100 at Euro buck bill OH.
Mate, look at the 100 eddies I just found.
I guess I'm going to fall asleep.
He snatches it from you.
Thank you very.
I'm Berry.
Sorry, I Berry Berry.
Are there other people back here we should be worried about?
Oh no, the other guard I was on on thing for.
I mean, we're technically on our break, but if we see anything we're meant to take our tune.
But we were hanging out here watching the stickball game on my tiny device.
But signal's really bad.
It's like someone else is streaming in here.
Boy, people get off to hear some noise or something.
Well, OK, I have one last question for you.
Sure.
Yeah.
Truck 7.
Oh, oh, that's right, three got in a wreck.
So we don't have a three sets, 1245 sets.
Oh yeah, 7's back corner up up there, North East of the lot behind the building.
Enjoy your nap.
Yeah.
No, I will.
Thanks.
Goodnight.
And he goes to sleep on the sofa.
He's propped up his little tablet, but the signal's bad and he keeps getting buffering.
Oh fuck, good garden.
Well, we're we're ready back here if anybody wants to join us.
But he he like locks in with the with the with the video and he's actually facing away from the back door now Jeb and Vendel are on top of the roof.
I'm just watching.
You're just watching.
Are you going to try and step off the roof?
Not yet.
We're going to see what goes down.
I feel like having the high ground up here with you Vendel is a sure a good position to be in.
Ayanna, you look up and you can see Vendel and Jeb on the roof.
I wave hello.
Jeb just tips his hat.
Well, there's there's nothing going on down here like it's it's safe and and.
Jeb gives a a a call to to Iona instead of responding regularly.
Yeah, for now, but we're going to stay up here just in case.
Oh, all right.
Down I could.
I just.
I feel like I don't know.
Usually things go according to plan until they don't, you know?
Sure, I OK, right?
Now and I'll.
Get down.
Get.
Down.
Get down.
Yeah, yeah.
I know I'm stealthy, OK?
Stealth OK great hey even now it's been really great stealthy stealthy with you hey I had fun mishap back there but we sorry we've.
Went on the foreground layer.
Vivi, do you want to go to the truck?
Yeah, maybe that's best.
You've watched like Jeb and Vendel pretend to be ninjas on the roof.
They're not doing a very good job, though, because it's actually your turn to move around.
So I, owner and VVU, explore this backlog.
Oh.
I didn't have to ask which one was 7 and literally the parking space is 7.
Oh, look at that.
Look at that.
I don't see it, but I trust you.
I'm making things up.
Oh, I thought it was like a thing that Paris said it on the map you were pointing out.
All right.
As you come close to the van, Iona, as you come close to the van, I need you to roll perception.
I'm sure I can do that, I percept.
20 As you get close, you can hear bickering and tinkering.
Oh.
Fucking fucker baby baby.
Yes.
I think there are people in the van.
There are people in the van.
OK Oh, oh.
I wonder if they can hear us.
I don't, I don't know, should I'm pulling my gun out?
Prep your gun, Phoebe.
You're also behind the van near Iona.
Do you also prep your gun?
I will.
Pull out my San Rue.
Hello Cutie.
All right, you pull out your San Rue.
Hello, Cutie.
Do you go north around the van or South around the van?
I will go South.
Pincer, Pincer.
Pincer manoeuvre.
You move around the van towards the back.
As you turn around the corner, you see that there are three dudes trying to break into the 7th van, the van that has your stuff in it.
Shit.
Now if you want to get a jump on these people, roll stealth.
You just want to attack them.
I was going to yell freeze and.
Then do it.
No, no, you know that.
I I love it.
Yeah, Phoebe rows the corner.
Freeze.
Put your hands up.
This is a hold up.
Night City if you look at a map of North America, somewhere on the western edge.
You'd see an inky.
Black dot with fingers pressing into the side of the continent.
That's where you find Night City.
And somewhere in the middle of that inky black dot is a giant smoking hole, like the universe itself drew iron and shot straight through the city.
Radiation turned the sky red.
But our story starts a little further South in a dive.
Bar the shortstop.
Welcome to Night City and welcome to Cyberpunk Edge of Extinction.
Infinite Sided Dice presents Cyberpunk Edge of Extinction, a Cyberpunk red actual play.
Watch now at youtube.com slash at Infinite sided dice catch you later chums.
I said freeze.
Wait, no.
Fuck you, I think.
No, fuck you.
Oh no, fuck you.
Well, I think you might want to listen to the.
I shit, they're behind us too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're surrounded.
You're surrounded, so you might want to stand down.
Stand down.
They're they're holding weapons and there's three of them, so they do outnumber you, but the one that's nearest to Iona is just looking back and forth with a gun in his hand.
What do I I boss?
What do I do?
Put it on the ground.
Don't listen to her, you know I always have a plan.
No.
Is that right?
Who said that?
Well, so do we, so you know, you better make sure your plan is better, I guess.
Well, we already outnumber you.
And we have better weapons.
I have a San Rue.
Hello, Cutie.
Have you seen the way?
And I have a baseball bat and I'm not afraid to use them.
Well, I have a a rusty knife and a big gun.
So so do you want some casualties here of your of your your guys here buddy because throwing.
Out buddy.
We've we've killed before and we will kill again.
God, I don't.
Know God, I think, you know, boys, I think we're going to need backup.
Oh, oh, oh.
Is that an all right here 'cause I got in the way of your plan?
That was out of character.
No, I'm just kidding.
I'm at Look, I I have a gun pointed.
I'm not.
I'm ready to shoot put.
OK, Look, I just need you all to step away from the vehicle unless you want this to get bloody.
That's all I'm saying.
Step away.
The.
Boxes are ours, lady.
No, no, no, no.
OK, Look, you're clearly not understanding, so I'm sorry.
It's going to have to go this way.
What word?
I shoot.
Him this.
Crossfire.
His dad tried not to shoot Iona.
Call for it.
Oh gosh, Oh yeah, I should pull up.
My character today let's.
See ranged weapon.
Oh, I guess I'll just.
Rolling at 21.
All right, well let me double check this guy.
He does not have a reflex of over 8, but he does.
He's about to perform a multiple tracheotomy with her gun.
All right, you didn't roll a crit.
However, you did 'cause 14 damage and so you watch him take a hit to the body and start to bleed.
Was it this guy?
Who are you?
Who are you shooting at?
Or this guy.
The leader is right in front of BB.
Yeah, OK, perfect.
Yeah.
Yeah, and then I'm like, y'all better step away.
I own a role perception.
Sure.
Wendy's like somehow like good people or something, and then you're going to find out that I'm shooting good people.
16 All right, let's see.
Oh yeah, that beats what I rolled.
Iona.
As you're paying attention to this gunshot to your left, a guy jumps over the wall and lands to your E, pulling out his own gun.
The other boys are on the way, boss.
Oh boy.
You shouldn't have said that.
Bang Bang.
Bang.
Bang Bang bang.
Let's fucking go.
Oh, it was fine.
It's.
21 Who did you shoot?
The guy that just jumped over the wall to my left and surprised me.
Oh, excellent.
Well, the guy who just jumped over to the left and surprised you takes a little lot of damage because you didn't do a lot of damage.
But he does take.
Some.
Yes, and you watch his jacket RIP fairly significantly.
If you want to do what's best for you, I'd hop back over that wall and keep going.
Roll for initiative.
Oh, click, click.
Great roll, solid 4 I'm.
Going to try this new thing.
No, they're trying the thing.
Oh, try the thing.
Do the thing.
The thing.
Yeah, it numbered them for me.
Wow.
That's so fun.
Wow.
I know, right?
Isn't that cool?
That was that was a really good impression.
Jeb and Vendel should also roll initiative.
Oh, OK.
I was going to that.
I was going to ask like, can we hear this?
Do we see this?
Yeah, you can hear it, but you can't see it because you're actually pretty far away.
OK, that's correct.
Retro should roll as well.
Oh yeah, I don't know if I can hear that.
I'm all the way outside watching a stickball game.
I'm I'm going to say that.
Over a wall.
I'm going to say you probably heard some gunshots.
You've you've definitely heard that gunshot.
Gunshots are really loud.
They are.
It's actually really loud.
Decent roll for me.
Yeah, Jebediah is faster.
Iona you rolled A4.
Yes, I did.
Oh, that's bad, dude.
I rolled a a critical 8 -, 4.
God damn.
It's 4/4.
First of all, last is last, a mess.
Combat has begun VV after Iona's shot.
You are here in a very in a, and I'm going to be real with you in a really weird flip in a previous initiative that I was editing, you were lost.
If you remember now you have swapped places that I own.
I usually do get bad roles.
I am going to, yeah, I'm just going to try to shoot and kill this guy that I just shot are.
You just going to fucking muck him?
I.
You know, look, they had their chance.
Well, OK, my question is, is he like he's down on the floor?
Does he look like he's like ready to like get back up and grab his gun?
He didn't fall over.
He sort of stumbled against the vehicle, but you did shoot him.
He didn't take a lot of damage, but he did take like, I'd say a good eighth of his health, I mean.
He looks like a gonk and.
They steal, they steal packages from parked vehicles.
What do you kind of what do you think you know?
It's Night City.
I'm shooting again.
Shit dude, 22 the guy does not have reflex.
You hit him for seven, you watch his armor get bladed.
Are you?
Is that armor piercing bullets?
I do have armor piercing bullets I oh.
So you used armor piercing bullets?
Oh shit.
OK, so that's -2 and that means OK, cool.
Yeah, so with.
Auto fire they roll the seven.
So what does that multiply it again by you?
Didn't do what?
A fire.
Oh, they didn't.
No.
I didn't.
No, not yet.
Not currently.
Yeah.
No, you can't.
Because, you know, blah.
So yeah, you you shoot this guy again and you watch with your armour piercing bullet as it blazes through his lapel and a bunch of the stuffing from his jacket pours out from his collar.
I liked this jacket, you bitch.
What did you call me?
It's.
Nice, it's.
Time to die.
And you shoot again.
Oh right, I do shoot again.
Oh Frick.
Not good Frick.
After your amazing one liner the no latency curse continues because you're gun jams and it makes a sad oowoo noise.
Lord.
And and the guy looks at you with this, with this click as it echoed in the back of this parking lot.
Smooth.
And it's sorry.
I just broke our immersion for a moment because I saw.
What'd you see?
I'm just, I was just looking down for my gear and I just saw the tragic world affairs Chad.
I just internally laughed.
So I had to post it and I just broke our version.
I'm sorry.
Worth it.
Absolutely worth it.
Oh, you broke.
It because it's true, it's so funny and that's.
The end of your turn if you want to fix your gun, you cannot move.
Yeah, I will not move.
All right, spend your movement to fix your gun for your next turn.
Yes.
All right, the guy who jumped over the wall to your left, Iona pushes back from the wall after being shot, looks at you.
You think you could shoot me?
I I do.
What?
That's not nice.
I I'm not known for being nice.
Apparently.
It's true.
OK be an 18.
Oh no you don't have reflex you can't dodge bullets.
That's right you are hit for an 18 causing 12 damage which is 12 minus your armor.
I played it by what everything is not I'm a piss.
I just rolled A10.
It hit you in your scar in the shoulder.
Oh fuck.
Oh no, I think I heard the distinct sound of Iona's scar ripping.
I thought just occurred to me after I listening to this week's episode.
Isn't it interesting that so far the only characters that can dodge bullets are the ones that have body fuel bite?
Vendel can dodge bullet.
Vendel doesn't have body fuel bite.
Vendel doesn't have body.
Fuel bite.
Iona, it hurts and you are now in pain.
Yeah, yeah.
You don't have to tell me that.
You're 11, so you actually, you actually only lose 2 HP, but that's not the point.
And then he goes to move a little bit around the corner where he's standing to try and get behind you.
But that gun, is it a heavy pistol?
Oh, it's a red 52.
Never mind after shooting you once.
Shoot, you take that as well.
Oh, it's a crit success.
Oh shit.
You're hit for 14 damage.
It doesn't cause critical injury, but it is.
That's a lot more damage.
That's that's four.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And your armour gets bladed by one.
That's right.
What?
I told you to get back over the wall.
Why would you shoot me?
Because you're.
Trying to hurt my boss.
And you're trying to hurt me and I'm the boss.
Oh.
Meanwhile, right in front of you, Iona, the guy behind the boss, goes to put his gun over the boss's shoulder to shoot Vivi.
Hey, doctor.
Oh fuck.
Yeah, you have something to say.
It it my gun jammed hold on give me where is it?
Do I have the thing if it's OK and then OK and then as this part goes in here.
You watch him just try and like, fix his weapon.
Oh, thirteen.
He manages to fix it.
I got it working, can't shoot you now but ha ha.
And it's Vandel's turn.
What did he figure out?
There's a little switch that turns it on and off.
The gun, yeah.
Right.
Yeah, it's the safety.
Oh, the safety.
What does Vandel do?
Can Vandel run across the rooftops?
And honestly, the boss is pretty recognizable in in his face mask while everybody else is hooded.
And I think that Vendel is probably smart enough to jump from the rooftop onto the top of the van and take down the boss from above.
Sounds great.
So Vendel has a move of really far because it's 6 plus.
What is it 4 when they run?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If Vendel wants to attack this person from above, it's 123456 that extends.
Yeah, you actually can do it because it extends your run action by two and that is 7 squares away exactly.
Perfect.
I will give you a bonus to damage if you roll successfully in the athletics check to jump off this roof, sure.
Can I mm hmm make it a dance check.
You can because they are skating over rooftop obstacles.
Skate feet gonna save you, no?
No.
Bendel says as they fall over a machine on the roof and then fall flat onto the glass above Janet.
Oh, hi, don't don't mind me.
There's nothing important happening outside.
I don't have anything I can do for Vendel this is.
Vendel's very bad, horrible, no good day.
And they still have one movement, so they get up from the glass and are standing on top of the building.
I could try and shoot him, but that was really embarrassing.
Also, once again I really hurt my flesh leg.
Take the shot, Vendel.
I took four damage.
Vendel pulls out their very heavy pistol and shoots the boss for 17 damage, bowling 22 to hit and that's enough mate, that's enough, causing 13 damage total.
That's a lot.
Fuck you guys are hard.
I'm getting there.
Freezing.
No, no, he knew what he was doing.
2D6 on the critical injury table is 4 + 2, which is 6.
The guy leans against the vehicle and one of the bullets goes through a tendon near his elbow and his arm breaks.
Oh fuck.
He has broken arm.
Now, Jeb, you're looking over the roof and you watch Vendel embarrassingly fall over a vending machine, fully roll over it, and then land on glass, get up uncomfortably, pull out their gun in a very uncool way, and just shoot over the edge and look at you.
Jeb.
Help.
Jeb's going to run.
Why can't I grab my guy?
'Cause you're on the foreground layer, you forgot already.
Oh.
OK, I'll move you just say where.
Jeb runs over on the roof up to this, this skylight and like, 'cause he's already has his combat shovel out and he just smashes the skylight and then like, kind of like pokes his head in and goes, you're right over here, yes.
Or Dale, right?
Down here, I'm just, I'm in the office.
Jeb, what are you doing?
The fight's over the other side of the wall.
What?
What?
What?
Jeb, I didn't shoot down the glass.
I shot over here.
And vendale points.
Over here, Oh my God, I just.
I can't see anything.
This whole time I thought it was inside this building.
No, no, we couldn't see because the wall blocked our vision.
But it's, it's over here.
Look.
And then Dale pushes you to the edge of this wall and you're still on top.
Oh my God.
There's like guys here, Iona's been shot.
I see everything.
I I have been shot.
I have been shot.
Jeb, before we continue fighting, you probably should say nice to say sorry to the nice lady downstairs.
Sorry about that.
I thought there was.
I'll, I'll pay for that.
What's going on?
Not now.
We'll tell you in a minute.
We really don't want you to know.
It's better if you don't.
Hey Iona, I'm I'm just going to level with you.
I need to know who to shoot.
I I point to the gentleman next to the wall.
There is one directly in front of me all basically all of these hooded people.
And then the the gentleman with the bones sticking out of his arm and the mask on.
All right, so maybe just finish off the the mask broken arm, man.
Perfect.
That's the boss.
That's the boss.
Yes, he's almost done righto.
Help me out, Jeb.
And he's related to Bruce Springsteen.
So Jeb pulls out his gun and shoots twice.
Bang Bang.
Rolling a 24 each time causing a decent amount of damage.
That's lost our damage.
It ain't great, but it's not them scarfing it.
One of the bullets goes straight through a tendon in his broken arm and more blood spurts across the ground.
And then once again he sits back up and the second bullet comes through him and he is very, very low on health.
It he it actually causes him to fall to the ground and he is essentially proud.
Guys, this might be the end.
Well, I mean, I'm, I listen, I'd, I'd, I don't know exactly what happened over here while I was up on the roof with Van Dale, but I'm sure they give you some sort of heads up.
We don't usually kill people without telling them we're about to kill them.
So I, I can't imagine that you, you know, didn't get some sort of warning.
Am I right, friends?
He did get a warning.
OK, see, we got no, no one to blame but yourself there, Sir.
It's true.
Retro, you're standing outside the front of this play and the stickable match goes to it, comes to a close and we're going to say oops, oops.
Unfortunately the bozos actually do clinch it and win because I rolled A1 and damn the guy next.
Motherfucker.
And you look up and you watch Jeb fire 2 gunshots down into a into the bottom of the parking lot from the roof.
Holy fuck.
I know, I know mate.
I thought the vampires had it.
I thought that.
Yeah, I I thought.
That gloss break sound effect was really realistic though.
That sounded like it was me.
Oh my.
God.
What was that?
I don't know.
I've been here with you the whole time.
I wouldn't know anything else.
I was going to call it with the way, hey, everything going OK, Every, every anybody, anybody, everybody, somebody.
Oh yeah.
What the fuck was that?
Oh, we're shooting some hooded guys and there was a dude with a mask, but he's pretty much dead.
Oh, so you don't need me?
He did say we're all right.
That there might be backups, so oh.
That's good.
That's good.
We can like kind of have you on call, you know, and then we can because they had they did the whole thing about being like, oh, we're going to call in backup.
Better look out.
But now we have you as backup.
So we can kind of say the same thing.
Get them.
Get their Jimmy.
'S all rustled.
Yes, if you wouldn't mind Retro, just be on the lookout for said backup and let us know.
Oh, that's good too.
OK.
I will look out for backup and back you.
Do you look up for backup retro?
I will back up for Lookout, yes.
Cool, roll for it.
See here.
I'm assume I'm, you know, perception would probably be a good one.
Yeah, but I'm wondering if dance would be a good one too.
Dance or tactics?
I could twerk my way to figuring it out.
Perception 21 Yeah, to the north.
You look to the north next to the wall where there is a fight going on the other side.
You understand 2 hooded guys step around the corner.
Right.
Where are they?
And then they hear like, fighting.
Oh.
I think it's on the other side of this wall.
And you watch them head to the wall on the other side to go and try and help their gang and essentially outnumber your friends.
I'm going to politely turn to the gentleman that was watching this football game with me.
You should.
Probably call an ambulance.
Next time on no latency.
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
Stay with us, I will help you in a minute.
So these guys are trying to get into that truck, huh?
God damn it, could you please stop shooting me?
He shoots a secret chopper.
It's OK, I think I shoot next.
If you want to make a makeshift tourniquet for the time being.
Guest doc.
And then drive it out to van.
What Pinto?
'S gonna hop off the roof onto the van and then.
Oh shit, in a kerfuffle over here.
Why is he so fast?
That sounds like a lot of steps.
Nope, I want to turn him into a human shield.
Jesus, holy shit.
He's the fucking cavalry.
Oh, I do shoot him.
Yes, they are going to pay.
That guy probably had a family.
Shouldn't have left?
I laugh at him all the time.
I think we're leaving the boss alive, aren't we?
So we'll go ahead and duct tape the rebreather to his face.
I have medical tape.
Hopefully we can just get this knocked out.
Help is on the way.
Your generosity is going to be how generous I am with your Dick.
